I’ve been trying to grow tomatoes from seed this year and it’s been a funny learning curve. The first batch got leggy because I didn’t have enough light, so I moved them to a south window. Now they’re finally getting their true leaves and I’m cautiously optimistic. I might try basil next to companion plant. Have you had any luck with container gardening? The soil mix I used seems to drain too fast. I added some coconut coir and perlite, but maybe I need more vermiculite. Honestly it’s a puzzle. Anyway, I’d love to hear what works for you. I also started some pepper seeds and they’re taking forever to germinate. Might be the temperature—my apartment stays around 68°F. I put a heat mat under them last week and already see tiny sprouts. Fingers crossed for a good harvest this fall.
